About the work

Kiki Smith has created a group of 30 unique prints exclusively for Whitechapel Gallery on the occasion of its 125th Anniversary.

Since the early 1990s, the natural world, and the animal kingdom in particular, has appeared in Kiki Smith’s work. Smith made her first sculpture incorporating a bird in 1992, and since then, birds have remained a powerful symbol.

Smith’s series of prints, entitled ‘Vesper’ feature this bird motif. The artist has hand produced prints in her studio since 2003. Designated as open editions, each work is unique and the series are typically limited to fewer than 100 impressions, with variations occurring over time. These prints share a basic rubber stamp matrix that is printed in watercolour, with each work retouched with white watercolour as one would retouch traditional photographs. That retouching determines where each star is and how many there are, which varies greatly. The stars are painted over the retouched areas with watercolour pens, the background is drawn using colour pencil. 

A photograph has been taken of each impression, which the artist will compile into a pixelated film. Each work is an individual print, but also a single frame of a film.

About the artist

Kiki Smith (b. 1954, Nuremberg) is an American artist, currently living and working in New York and is recognised for her multidisciplinary work that explores the natural world, the metaphysical, and the human body. Since the 1980s, Smith’s work has spanned a variety of mediums such as printmaking, photography, sculpture, glassmaking, drawing, and textiles. Her practice presents psychologically charged works touching on themes of the body, regeneration, mortality, and gender politics, alongside the link between spirituality and the natural world. Smith additionally takes inspiration from the visual culture of the past, such as 18th century scientific renderings of anatomy, as well as folklore, ancient mythology, and religious iconography.

Fantastic suite for the price!
Size: Large, Color: Khaki
I purchased the gray version to evaluate the suit. I ordered a size up based on other reviews and was pleased to discover everything fit well. The jacket fit well around the arms, chest, shoulders, and even my seemingly ever-growing gut. The vest was the same. The pants also fit well around the waist (thanks to the expanding waistband) butt, and thighs. The only problem was the pants were about 2 sizes too long. Considering the price point, I was felt I was still way ahead after paying to have them altered. After a couple week's worth of wear, I purchased 4 more (gray, black, blue and tan). All fit the same way and were easily altered too. The tailor even had the cashier ask me where I purchased these as he was impressed with the quality. A couple months in and I'm still pleased, although I've had a few issues. My right pocket on my blue pair has ripped it's seam twice, as has the same pocket on one of my gray pair. Considering it's the same pocket, I would suspect I am just heavy handed but this is not a common problem with any of my other clothes. The pants are a bit on the tighter side when I am sitting down so perhaps the stitching is just not strong enough. I have asked the tailor to give me a super stitch in this area and am just about to pick up the gray pair with this new stitch. I'll try to remember to update later on. Overall, I feel I have really gotten my money's worth out of these suits, especially considering the prices of others. I have been wearing these daily since June and have gotten many compliments.

Great suit at a great value
Size: Large, Color: Black
I have ordered several other suits from the seller for my three boys over the last several years for either their prom, special events and graduations. The fit and value are wonderful. I would definitely recommend this suit if you want something that is classy looking, but won’t break the bank

Fabrics Great, Size a little Big, Overall Pretty Good
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Navy
This suit was truly great, the size for the pants and the vest were pretty on point, maybe a little long for the pants. The jacket was way too big though compared to the rest. Overall pretty good suit for the price, very surprised at the build quality and faabrics.
